There is a problem with the sorcery state files on 0.10.0-test5-1. The
ISO works fine enough, but requires a workaround. The problem is that
the sorcery packages file has duplicate lines, where the duplicated
lines are bad and need to be removed so that only the good lines are
left. The workaround is as follows:

Manually edit /var/state/sorcery/packages
Remove all lines of the form:
SPELL:DATE::

Where SPELL = some spell and DATE = the date the spell was created in
the system (not necessarily the date you installed, but the date it was
created when the ISO was being generated).

Example lines for SPELL=glibc:
glibc:20090101075500::               <-- BAD LINE, delete this one
glibc:20090101075500:installed:2.7   <-- Good line, keep this one

Thanks go to George Sherwood for his patience and perseverence in
testing 0.10.0-test5-1 enough for us to figure this out.
